Codex Is Expanding Beyond Software Development
While Codex is widely known as a tool that helps developers write and work with code, OpenAI says its use in India is expanding well beyond software development. More than a quarter of Codex requests from Indian users are now related to non-coding tasks.
Users are increasingly relying on the platform to synthesise information, draft documents, automate research tasks and organise workflows and communication. The trend suggests that AI tools are becoming useful across a broader range of professional activities rather than being limited to programming alone.
